Pensioners' pay date moved

Pensioners' pay date for this month has been shifted from February 26 to February 28, a Government official has said.

In a statement, Civil Service Commission secretary Mrs Pretty Sunguro said Treasury had necessitated the shift of the date.

"The Civil Service Commission advises that the ministry of Finance (Treasury) has moved the February pension pay date from February 26 to February 28," she said.

The change in dates will allow the government more time to mobilise funds amid liquidity constraints on the market.
